I don't want too.

I don't know how to launch a new working group. I should add that this is
even not my intention to include myself in a WG ! Developping a new XML
standard like XCSS is time-consuming and requires an experience I don't
have.
Also, consider that standardizing the syntax can only be done if a WG is
started. Otherwise, it will be unsupported, and thus unuseful.
Finally, I will learn more on XSL Formatting Objects to see if what XCSS
could do is not already done by XSL FO. We must not confuse XSLT and XSL FO.
XSLT is the transformation part of XSL, while XSL FO do something other
(currently, I don't know what and how). We should take a look at this part
of XSL.
